A Sweet Theory.. but not mine.

BTW, I heard that the Hyne in FF III is a sorcerer with only skeleton. Do he have any skin to cast off with in the first place?

---

Haha, good point! :D He IS indeed only a skeleton.

yeah, bahamut did live at the top of the mountain. and in ff8 you don't find him deep into the dsrc, you find him in a tube right when you enter the research center. but the location doesn't even matter, as the scientists either found bahamut, or bahamuts baby that grew up, and tested expirements on it, so no matter where they found bahamut, they could have moved it or something.

True, but this is purely imagination.

and i know the crystals were big and whole, but is it not possible that they broke up over time and scattered? the scientists DID expirement on everything they found in the dsrc... or at least i'd figure it's safe to assume that.

If the Crystals were destroyed, the world of FF3 would have decayed completely, so I don't think that's a possibility.

Bahamut lived untop of a mountain right? The continent sunk and only the highest mountain would be visible. And about the ruins, many civilization had temples on mountain tops(budhists). What says that between a few hundred years they couldnt construst a temple?

Of course it's possible, but this is just imagination.

Basically, I agree that there are certain similarities between FF8 and FF3, but not enough similarites to seperate it from all the other recurring stuff put in FF games. You could find links between FF8 and any other FF, but this is just a testament to Square keeping in certain things for tradition, or making references. It certainly is not enough to imply that FF3 and FF8 are the same world. The only valid similarity is the usage of someone called Hyne, and the location of the Floating Continent, both of which require all sorts of imagination to fully explain.

So while there are similarities, there is no deep connection here.

Was Hyne a skelector on FFIII?

As I said, yes, he was a skeleton. At least, he appeared as a Skeleton with fancy clothes on when you fought him. He used magic, and had an elemental weak point which would change every now and then. Anything else you want to know?

Did you see Unknowns?
The skelecton at the picture symbolizes Hyne.
He only had a single horn and on the back of his head I suppose.
And his face looks that of a cow or a dog, no?(more of a cow).

What are you talking about?

It´s about a discussion I had with Unknowns on my last poll.
It was about FF8´s Hyne.

Can you post a screenshot of Hyne here?

hyne has no form in ff8...

I mean a screenshot of FFIII´s Hyne.

You get the idea...

Don´t looks like the picture we see on Ulti´s castle (Cowardy).Sad.

he looks like a fancy pirate! whoooo!

Agreed.Is it me or it looks a villain of Monkey Island?

it's just you.

While I don't agree with Squall's theory in this case (my argument against it doesn't really differ from Sir B.'s), I thought I'd point out for the sake of engendering further discussion that the Legend of Vascaroon states that the half-body given to the people was actually a dead skin. One could argue, then, that the Hyne battled by the "Onion Kids" of FFIII was this half-Hyne, who had already given away the skin. This raises certain issues of chronology and continuity, of course, but I felt it was worth noting.

The same theory was posted on EoFF, as seen in this thread.

oh. so that was HIS! hah. it's still awesome.
